I believe the answer is:

fools paradise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'illusory happiness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ideal for soaps it turns out' is the wordplay.
'ideal for soaps' can be anagrammed to 'FOOL'S PARADISE'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fools paradise that I've seen before include "Place of happy denial" , "Illusory state of wellbeing" , "Blissfully ignorant state" , "Illusory happiness" , "State of ignorant happiness" .)
